How would Japan be able to kill innocent children live on TV

Because fucking based that's why

It wasn't live on TV.

in the book, its an alternate history where there was a truce between japan and america in the 40's.

though its not explained if there are any other programs like battle royale on-air, but you can assume it's the same quasi-sci-fi-fascism weve seen in a billion other pieces of media...

you either assume Japan is isolated/big enough to where no one wants to call them out on the human rights violations, or that everyone else does the same, and shit like Battle Royale is the 'norm' in this society.

It was only on TV in the manga.

Its like The Purge movie.
